Striker - High Hopes For Nothing

Review by Jan Neff-Sinclair

Striker's album High Hopes For Nothing is a powerful and energetic release that showcases the band's signature blend of heavy metal and hard rock. From the opening track "Phoenix Lights" to the closing "Shadows in the Light," the album is a relentless assault of riffs, solos, and pounding rhythms.

The band's musicianship is on full display throughout the album, with each member delivering standout performances. Lead vocalist Dan Cleary's soaring vocals are particularly impressive, as he effortlessly shifts between melodic singing and aggressive screams.

While the album is certainly heavy, it also has a strong sense of melody and hooks that make it accessible to a wider audience. Tracks like "All For One" and "Heart of Lies" are particularly catchy, with memorable choruses that will have listeners singing along.
